DRIVING THE WEEK: CYBER RETURNS TO THE HOUSE — It's go-time for CISPA, which is headed to the House floor later this week. As the debate shapes up, a primer from Tony Romm in today's paper: "[T]he cybersecurity debate about to begin in the House this week is merely a more modern take on an old political fight: A classic lobbying battle set against the backdrop of a post-Sept. 11 struggle between privacy and security. Virtually all of Washington believes the government and industry should exchange data about new cyberthreats — not unlike regulators in the not-distant past who shared a desire to find new methods of preventing terrorism. In both debates, however, it's always been about the details. And on cybersecurity, Congress, the White House, private companies and interest groups just don't see eye to eye."

— THE WEEK AHEAD FOR CYBER: House Rules meets Tuesday afternoon at 3 p.m. to set the terms of debate on CISPA. Amendments are due to the committee 10 a.m. that day. The other cyber bills that comprise what's referred to colloquially as "cyber week" — two focused on research and IT, one on FISMA reform — are to come before the full House under suspension rules also on Tuesday, setting up CISPA for debate Wednesday and/or Thursday.

DRIVING THE DAY: STATE AGs CONVENE FOR PRIVACY TALKS — Privacy watchers and state attorneys general descend on National Harbor this morning for the National Association of Attorneys General conference, where attendees will find an agenda packed with panel after panel of top names taking on key issues. A couple of the ones your MT-er will be eyeing: Former DHS privacy leader Mary Ellen Callahan, MasterCard’s Bill Dennings and Bill Nelson of the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center look at cyber privacy issues at 9:15 a.m. And FTC Commissioner Julie Brill, EPIC’s Marc Rotenberg and Acxiom’s Jennifer Barrett Glasgow talk data brokers at a 10:45 panel, where we expect to hear a bit about the FTC’s review of industry practices.

— FACEBOOK, NAAG TO LAUNCH CONSUMER PRIVACY EDUCATION CAMPAIGN: Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler will unveil a partnership with Menlo Park at this morning’s conference, detailing the program designed to help teach teens and parents about protecting privacy when using social media. The campaign features Web tools and a PSA with Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, who addressed visiting attorneys general and staff during a closed session Sunday morning. FB’s Chief Privacy Officer Erin Egan is also stopping by National Harbor, appearing on a Monday afternoon panel with Gansler.

— LEIBOWITZ KEYNOTES LUNCH: Former FTC chairman Jon Leibowitz will also deliver remarks today — he’ll chat about his time as the country’s top privacy regulator among other topics.

— KEY HURDLES REMAIN FOR DO NOT TRACK TALKS: There’s no panel devoted directly to the thorny online privacy issue at this week’s conference, but we still wouldn’t be surprised to see it come up, as stakeholders working with the W3C’s group start to hit the home stretch. Your MT-er has the story: “More than 18 months after getting started, the Do Not Track working group is trying to score smaller victories on the complex topic, with the hopes that doing so could encourage the players to fight for a broad agreement. But there’s no serious progress yet on the biggest disputes over default settings in popular web browsers and even the practical meaning of a Do Not Track signal.” More, for Pros: http://politico.pro/15f8Xdf

BREAKING SUNDAY EVENING: GOOGLE, EU CUT DEAL ON SEARCH — We go to the NYT: “Google has for the first time agreed to legally binding changes to its search results after an antitrust investigation by European regulators into whether it abuses its dominance of online search. ... Google will not have to change the algorithm that produces its search results, [sources] said. Under the proposal, Google agrees to clearly label search results from its own properties, like Google Plus Local or Google News, and in some cases to show links from rival search engines. ... If the proposal is approved after market testing, the European Commission will have succeeded in demanding far more stringent concessions from Google than did United States regulators.” Dig in: http://nyti.ms/17bvR1w

G’DAY MATE and welcome to Morning Tech, where we’re celebrating Australian Adam Scott’s first green jacket, which he secured with a finessed 20-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole at The Masters yesterday.

FIRST LOOK: IBM HITS THE HILL — The New York-based tech company couldn't have picked a better time for it's annual fly-in. A crew of 200 senior IBM executives will land on Capitol Hill today to lobby for CISPA and immigration reform (the Gang of Eight says it will unveil its proposal Tuesday). They plan to push passage of cybersecurity legislation, IBM's Vice President of Governmental Relations Chris Padilla told Pro’s Jessica Meyers. He's hoping the White House's executive order, along with agreements on information sharing and liability protection, mean the bill won't die again this year. IBM's also standing behind immigration reforms that resemble the I-Squared Act, such as ensuring STEM graduates get green cards and boosting the cap on H-1B visas to meet market demands. But he distanced the company from IT outsourcing firms that depend on temporary worker visas, a point of contention with lawmakers. "If there are provisions in there that put some requirements on those companies, I don't have a problem with that," he said. IBM has a large presence in India, where many of these firms are headquartered. Padilla's golden number: 2,800. That's the amount of IBM jobs for which the company can't find specialized American workers, he said. IBM has no PAC, so these two days are especially important for the company to convey its message.

— AND YET: TECH TROUBLE ON IMMIGRATION? The Senate plan could include a couple of key new rules for hiring foreign workers, Anna Palmer reports, and tech lobbyists are saying they don’t think the Gang of Eight is going to boost the H-1B cap by enough.

FIRST IN MT: APP DEVELOPERS ASSOCIATION TELLS FTC TO PUSH BACK COPPA UPDATE — The new provisions of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act are slated to go into effect at the beginning of July, but that needs to be pushed till 2014, the ADA writes in a letter to the FTC this morning. The new obligations for app developers aren’t yet well-understood, and the changes and penalties are so severe that many developers will stop producing apps, president Jon Potter writes. An informal survey of the group’s members, he says, “suggests that though they are currently COPPA-compliant, many are ill-prepared for the rapidly approaching implementation deadline as they are still trying to understand their changed responsibilities.” Read the letter here: http://bit.ly/ZUVTRY

FBI AGENTS ASSOCIATION LEADER: DOJ USUALLY REQUIRES WARRANT FOR EMAIL — It’s not a blanket policy and doesn’t apply to all government agencies, but the Justice Department “for the most part” requires a warrant when trying to obtain someone’s email, FBI Agents Association President Konrad Motyka said on this weekend’s C-SPAN’s “The Communicators.” “When we’re seeking content from service providers, for the most part right now Department of Justice policy is to seek a search warrant in order to obtain content.” At the same time, Motyka echoed the sentiment recently put forth by law enforcement officials: If you’re going to update ECPA, the law that covers email privacy from the government, let’s make some changes law enforcement is going to like, too. “Because the question is so complicated, if you update and change the laws, what changes are going to be put in place that are going to make the job of law enforcement investigations more difficult? Is there also a way to change the law to make the process better?” he asked, pointing to problems investigators would like to see fixed regarding emergency exceptions and rules for civil law enforcement agencies. The ACLU’s Laura Murphy, though — appearing alongside Digital 4th Coalition colleague Grover Norquist — seemed unconvinced by Motyka’s rundown of the FBI’s operation. “I heard an over-generalization about their procedures,” she said.

ELSEWHERE ON THE HILL THIS WEEK — The Senate Judiciary Committee is set to hold a hearing Wednesday on the Gang of Eight’s proposal. ... The upper chamber’s antitrust subcommittee has a hearing slated for Tuesday afternoon on how the government enforces antitrust laws. FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez and DOJ antitrust chief Bill Baer are set to testify. ... The House intellectual property subcommittee takes another look at abusive patent litigation on Tuesday afternoon. 3M’s Kevin Rhodes, former USPTO director Jonathan Dudas, and F. David Foster (of the International Trade Commission Trial Lawyers Association) are among the witnesses.

WILL THERE BE A CALM ACT FOR BROADBAND VIDEO? — That’s the intriguing, novel question that surfaced in a variety of sessions at last week’s NAB Show over the implementation of the new law requiring TV providers to ensure that commercials aren’t excessively loud. Even before the FCC has issued its first fine under the new legislation, Linear Acoustic CEO Tim Carroll said industry insiders wonder if and when mobile video will be subject to similar rules. “This is the wave of the very near future,” said Carroll, whose firm provides hardware to broadcasters to monitor sound levels. “That is going to be a harder thing to solve than over-the-air. With over-the-air and cable, we sort of know where Comcast is, we know where the networks are, we know where that cooking channel comes from. I’m not sure we know where the video content being supplied on smartphones is coming from.”
